Hallelujah

My baby has arrived.

Da co-adopção

Muito bom. Da Cibertúlia.

Lido por aí #10

Agora é que estão preocupados com a democracia? Com um assunto que nem sequer devia ser discutido quanto mais largado nas mãos de um povo burro e conservador? Caralho, pá. É só coisas para me enervar a toda a hora.

Leituras interessantes #5

Those claiming the ocean has cooled the climate in the last 15 years, never acknowledge that the oceans might equally have been warming it in the 20 before that. There is no symmetry in this “science”.

JoNova

The biggest untruth about human global warming is the assertion that nearly all scientists agree that it is occurring, and at a dangerous rate.

The Climate Sceptics Party

My stepmother, by contrast, though going day after day without electricity, has had a lovely time stoking up the log fire, going to bed by candlelight and cooking her neighbours’ dinners with her gas stove. She didn’t care for television much anyway.

Christopher Howse - The Telegraph

Thus and verily, ergo, ergot and a truffle too, climate sensitivity on Planet Earth is 3.3 degrees C.

JoNova

One may note, that the stronger temperature increase from the 1970s to the 1990s, which is “officially” argued to prove warming by CO2, is essentially due to the AMO/PDO cycle.

Frases 2013

"You really deserve half of this. Do you want the bottom or the top?"

Michael Douglas, winner of the Emmy for Best Actor in a mini-series or movie for the Liberace biopic "Behind the Candelabra", to co-star Matt Damon, who played his lover.

Notorious megalomaniac Jennifer Lawrence sacks her driver during her apparently sozzled Vogue interview.

Jennifer Lawrence on her irrational fears.

Há gente pobre, mas tão pobre, que o único bem que tem é… dinheiro." 

Armando Fuentes Aguirre (Catán)

As conversas mais íntimas e interessantes são tidas lado a lado, em bancos de jardim, dentro de carros ou durante passeios.

Febre dos Fenos

Há que ter calma e não querer viver num mundo que não existe, sem ordinários nem militantes do Bloco de Esquerda.

Bomba Inteligente

"If it’s science, it isn’t consensus; if it’s consensus, it isn’t science." 

Michael Crichton

traumatizante é ser criado por gente imbecil e não contra isso não há leis.

Febre dos Fenos

Quanto mais perto estamos da natureza, maior é a noção que temos da nossa irrelevância.

Febre dos Fenos

Gosto de dormir, ler, escrever e de ver tv, gosto de fazer qualquer coisa que me distraia de viver.

Febre dos Fenos

“The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system." ― John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

Febre dos Fenos

O primeiro passo para deixarmos de idolatrar alguém é começarmos a conviver com essa pessoa.

Um Casulo com Varanda

"Apesar de depreciativos nos dias de hoje, conservador e dogmático são atributos admiráveis quando usados para descrever uma pessoa que responde por uma Fé acima de tudo tolerante e solidária, como é e deve ser o catolicismo ecuménico e romano."

Bomba Inteligente

Ainda em 2013

 

You couldn’t make it up. A Russian “Antarctic research vessel” carrying not diligent scientific researchers but 74 taxpayer-funded climate extremists on a junket to help them make up headlines about sea ice melting because of “global warming” finds itself stuck in – er – sea ice. And sea ice in high summer at that. The extremists, as so often happens, had believed their own propaganda. They had believed Al Gore. They had believed, poor saps, that Antarctica was warming and melting. It isn’t.

Aside from the Antarctic Peninsula (just 2% of the continent), which has an anomalous climate, Antarctica has been cooling since satellite records began, and sea-ice extent there has been growing.

The Age of Miracles

“Later, I would come to think of those first days as the time when we learned as a species that we had worried over the wrong things: the hole in the ozone layer, the melting of the ice caps, West Nile and swine flu and killer bees. But I guess it never is what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different—unimagined, unprepared for, unknown.”

― Karen Thompson Walker
